Dubai-based BHM Capital has secured membership as an external market maker on the Bahrain Bourse (BHB), marking a significant step in its regional expansion strategy across Gulf markets.
The capital market player will commence its market-making operations after fulfilling all regulatory requirements set by the Bahrain Bourse, the company announced.
Abdel Hadi Al Sa’di, Chief Executive Officer of BHM Capital, highlighted the strategic importance of the move, stating that joining the Bahrain Bourse represents a pivotal development in the company’s mission to enhance connectivity between GCC markets and deepen regional financial integration.
“This achievement not only reflects our dedication to delivering innovative and advanced trading solutions but also highlights our active role in enhancing market liquidity and driving economic activity in the region,” Al Sa’di said.
The initiative is expected to strengthen market liquidity and depth, potentially attracting a broader base of regional and international investors to Bahrain’s financial markets. This aligns with broader efforts to foster greater integration among Bahraini and GCC financial markets.
BHM Capital’s expansion into Bahrain serves as a strategic launchpad for its wider regional ambitions. “We are committed to operating with the highest standards of governance and compliance,” Al Sa’di added, emphasising the company’s focus on maintaining regulatory excellence while pursuing growth opportunities.
The move represents the first phase of BHM Capital’s previously announced strategy to expand across GCC financial markets. The company plans to introduce innovative solutions aimed at improving market efficiency and increasing investor appeal in the Bahraini market.
